Mr. VAN SLYKE and the other gentlemen who
composed the Fire Kings extemporized body
guard, and by a good deal of rolling in the
snow and wrapping in blankets, the amateur

THE sight of so many ministers on tae
| opera house stage last evening recalled an
anecdote which was related at the banquet
given to the commercial travellers at the
Ryan the other evening. The story was of a
reformed drummer who had turned preacher.
Being invited to deliver an address at g mass
temperance meeting down in the Ohio valley
several years ago, he put in appearance.
After listening to DR.. LEONARD and several
! other distinguished temperance orators. the
drummer preacher was called on. He arose
and said: MY friends, when accepted your
invitation to speak to-day 1 went to my
Bible, as / always do when I want informa-
ton, to see what it said on this LIQUOR cues
ton. first read that NOAH got drunk on
wine of his own making. Then | read how
good OLD DANIEL was once cup bearer for
the king and poured out his liquor for him.
/ read on until came to the story CT where
our DIeSSeu hdSleF performed the miracle
Cana and made wine out of water for his
neighbors when they were getting dry. And
then l read on little further when l find
PAUL writing to TIMOTHY to take little wine
when his stomach was weak. But nowhere
inside the lids of that blessed book did find
an instance of a man who wanted water. ex-
cept1ng just one, and he was in hell, where
he had oughter be, and he only wanted one
leetle drap.''

Mr.. DONNELLY did not speak at the high
license meeting last night. 1t is usually a
mixed question when MIR. DoNNELLY fails to
speak on it.
SENATOR DANIELS is not very charitable to-
ward his former colleagues in the Legislature.
He is opposed to midnight conversions. Re-
calling tue senator's experience in relaxing
MILO WHITE s grip on the Kasson convention,
it is possible that he can speak feelinely Oh
the subject of midnight conversions.

would be all right. 1t doesn't take very big
timber to make congressman over there.
